NOTE: The poem "Oh
Erudite, let me make love to you like a Beautiful Book" is listed in the section on Love Cycles Life: Poems.

*HOW MANY TIMES?*
"How many times do you break loving hearts every year?
How many times do you fall in new loves every year?
Aftab's still picking Heart pieces, reconstructing himself,
Hoping Sweetheart's love and smiles eternally every year."

"Oh beautiful Artist, can you reflect painstakingness of heart in Art? Have you crafted ever the
canvass of pleasant yet restless heart? Depicted love-longing in language of some helpless nostalgic heart? Has any
enflamed your heart, if not, find out from mystical Aftab."

2. "Your beautiful face rosy lips and this red ruby wine, You and Aftab human goblets
will be dust with passing time, Listen to Heart don't confuse Soul, why argue by Mind, Love-longing in my verses,
few more moons remain to shine."

5. "Don't hang around Beloved is not found everywhere, Flames
may float inside, Desire fulfills very slow, Moment of Love equals a lifetime yet counts very low, Like Phoenix dies
regrows, Aftab searches himself in Love."

e. CONFUSION "The boat of
love is surrounded by fears hinderances, Help Lord save love that you miraculously created, Unknown conflicts inside
her invading love affections, Beloved with blessings, upon lovers bestow happiness."

"Powerful love is playing
with unexplained abstractions, Have I convinced her or not, time may heal relationships, Her graceful heart insinuates
inner unsafe feelings, Aftab can't differentiate, episodes happiness sadness."

2. "Indecisive love cares yet doesn't much so
in innocense, A minute with you lost another with mysteriousness, Indecisive in fact are Fate's unpredictable endeavors,
Aftab's love is great, justly trying to find her own-self."

g. A CALL FROM SOUL, HEART AND MIND "You are the special one, don't act as a Soul-mate,
Your kisses loving kindness, I shall never forget, Remember in trying times, Aftab remains the Soul-mate, Goodness
is healing staying friends, not as unkind acquaintance."

h. LIFE GOES ON... "Peace of mind heart or world
like a seasonal idealist flu, Romantic social or political Great Games in forms continue, Aftab knew, you cannot fulfill
love demands romance dreams, Although Heart dearly desired, it longed to be loved by You."

"Must this hurt continue going
on so indefinitely? Must innocent Heart be left to bleed so smoothly? Must your beauty survive several lifetimes so
eternally? Must Aftab be punished for loving you so perennially?"
